QOU215 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

QOU215 - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're working on an electrical installation, the right circuit breaker makes all the difference. You want something that fits your setup, protects your circuit, and doesn't complicate installation.

Whether you're replacing an existing QOU215 or building a new electrical assembly, you get a familiar Square D design with clear electrical ratings and installation requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

• 15-Amp, Two-Pole Design: Provides overcurrent protection for compatible two-pole electrical circuits.
• Thermal-Magnetic Protection: Responds to both sustained overloads and short-circuit conditions.
• VisiTrip Indicator: Provides a visible indication when the breaker trips, making troubleshooting easier.
• Flexible Mounting: Supports DIN rail, surface, and flush mounting with the proper hardware.
• Unit-Mount Construction: Suitable for individually mounted breaker applications rather than standard QO plug-on load centers.
• Copper and Aluminum Wire Compatibility: Accepts approved copper or aluminum conductors through slotted box lug connections.
• AC and DC Applications: Supports the manufacturer's specified AC and DC operating voltages, subject to the appropriate application ratings.
